“A cousin is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.” —Marion C. Garretty

I've been photographing the Paganos for years, and got to meet some of their extended family this season! We had such a blast—here are just a few of my favorite shots from this gorgeous fall evening!

It was SO so wonderful to capture the love of this family I've known for more than half my life! I still can't believe I used to babysit these four gorgeous girlies. I think Zoe was 1 and Kenz was, what, 6?! Is my math right?! HOW CAN THAT BE?! 😭😅

Maya Angelou said, "I sustain myself with the love of family," and I just have to say that this family's love is SO BIG!!!

If you can't tell, we had an absolute blast (despite the 90-plus degree heat!). I'm so grateful to've captured these moments!

These two told me they'd never done a professional photo session before . . . can you believe what NATURALS they are?! Their laughter and smiles absolutely radiate with love for each other and their baby girl 🌸. I cannot wait for this September wedding!

“You must not ever stop being whimsical." 🌸 — Mary Oliver

It has been so amazing, watching this family grow. The amount of garden-frolicking we've done over the years is certainly of note! I am forever grateful for their friendship and their trust in me to capture these moments of whimsy and love 💕.
